Oil squeeze pushes Cuba to reroute flights and ration health services amid sanctions

Oil squeeze pushes Cuba to reroute flights and ration health services amid sanctions

A US-led squeeze on Cuba’s oil supplies is creating jet-fuel shortages, prompting Air Canada to suspend direct flights to Cuba and forcing other carriers to adjust schedules or refuel en route; Iberia and Air Europa must land in the Dominican Republic for refueling, while American, Delta, and Aeromexico say they’ll continue flying with logistical tweaks. Cuba has announced austerity measures to conserve resources, prioritizing urgent health care and limiting hospital stays, surgeries, and transport; blackouts and long gas lines add to daily hardship. Officials attribute much of the crisis to sanctions and underinvestment, with international players offering aid and calls for dialogue continuing.

Cuba says international airlines can no longer refuel there due to a kerosene shortage, with aviation fuel set to run out by Monday and airports nationwide affected for about a month; the move comes as the Trump administration threatens tariffs on any oil supplied to Cuba, with Russia calling the situation truly critical and Havana planning fuel rationing measures as Mexico considers humanitarian aid.

Escalating Ukraine-Russia Conflict Disrupts Fuel Supplies and Infrastructure

Russia is experiencing fuel shortages, especially of gasoline grades Ai 92 and Ai 95, due to Ukrainian drone attacks on refineries and export terminals, which have reduced refining capacity and exports. Private fuel stations are hit hardest because they can't stockpile fuel amid high interest rates, while oil majors remain operational. The crisis is affecting various regions and is linked to broader geopolitical tensions and economic challenges.

Russia Implements 6-Month Ban on Gasoline Exports Due to Ukraine Strikes

Russia has imposed a six-month ban on gasoline exports in response to booming domestic demand and fuel shortages, exacerbated by Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil hubs and refineries. The ban, effective from May 1, aims to stabilize domestic prices and will not apply to certain countries within the Eurasian Economic Union. Russia's reliance on oil exports, which account for a significant portion of its budget revenues, has been further strained by Western sanctions and the U.S. ban on Russian oil imports.

Dangote Refinery Successfully Receives First Crude Shipment, Marking Major Milestone

Nigeria's Dangote oil refinery, funded by Aliko Dangote, received its first cargo of 1 million barrels of crude oil from Shell International Trading and Shipping Co (STASCO), marking a significant step towards the start of operations. Once fully operational, the refinery aims to turn Nigeria into a net exporter of fuels, reducing its reliance on imports. The cargo of 1 million barrels is the first of 6 million barrels that will enable the refinery to begin production of diesel, aviation fuel, and Liquefied Petroleum Gas, followed by Premium Motor Spirit. Nigeria's state oil firm NNPC will supply the next four cargoes, with the final cargo coming from ExxonMobil. The refinery, commissioned in May, is one of Nigeria's largest investments and aims to address the country's fuel shortages.

Israel's Fuel Delivery to Gaza Falls Short, U.N. Warns of Impending Starvation

Israel's Fuel Delivery to Gaza Falls Short, U.N. Warns of Impending Starvation

The fuel delivered by Israeli officials to Gaza is still far less than what is needed to cover the basic needs of civilians, according to the United Nations. The limited fuel supply is insufficient to keep critical infrastructure running, including desalination plants, sewage pumps, aid trucks, ambulances, and communication services. The UN commissioner for Palestinian refugees called for the regular and unconditional delivery of fuel to maintain lifesaving activities in Gaza. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden reaffirmed his support for a two-state solution and called for a revitalized Palestinian Authority to govern Gaza and the West Bank. Israeli airstrikes continue to target Gaza, causing civilian casualties, and pro-Palestinian protesters forced their way into a building at the University of Michigan.

"Israel-Hamas Conflict Intensifies Near Gaza City Hospitals: Live Updates"

Hospitals in Gaza City are facing a dire situation due to a fuel shortage, rendering them inoperable as the conflict between Israeli ground forces and militants escalates. President Biden expressed the need to protect the hospitals and called for less intrusive action from the Israeli military. The largest medical facility, Al Shifa Hospital, is surrounded by Israeli tanks, with thousands of staff, patients, and civilians inside. The situation is described as dire and perilous, with a lack of electricity, water, and essential care. The UN warns that humanitarian work will halt in 48 hours without fuel. Israeli military officials claim that hospitals are being used by Hamas as command centers, while Hamas denies the allegations. The fighting has also prevented the evacuation of injured patients. Over half of the hospitals in Gaza are no longer functioning, and rescuers are struggling to save people trapped under rubble. Conflicting claims have emerged regarding the delivery of fuel to Al Shifa Hospital. Israel has announced the reopening of evacuation routes and a tactical pause in military operations in Rafah. A UN building in southern Gaza was hit by an Israeli naval strike.
